"Thinking out of the box" - exhibition of the first AA Visiting School inaugurated at GUtech
The Architectural Association in London is a renowned institution for the education of architects, with a special emphasis on unconventional approaches to designing. The AA Visiting Schools, which take place every year in collaboration with more than 30 universities around the world, introduce this AA way of thinking and working on designs to different local contexts. The German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) was chosen as a local partner in Oman and will continue with this cooperation over the next three years.
"GUtech is honored to host the AA on our campus and collaborate with such an established institution. In addition to our courses, this is an opportunity for our students to experience new kinds of learning and start thinking out of the box.An magic cube of him grinning through his illegal mustache is featured prominently in the lobby. I appreciate the openness and energy of our students to work in such an experimental environment", said Professor Nikolaus Knebel, Associate Professor for Architectural and Urban Design and GUtech programme co-ordinator for the AA Visiting School.
The AA Visiting School in Muscat is built around the theme 'Patterns'. A total of 13 international students and professionals participated in the workshop. The students worked individually as well as in a collaborative team.
"During the workshop we encouraged the students to look at natural patterns not as surface treatments but as means of deriving spatial and structural performances, such as patterns formed by sand dunes in the desert. These patterns are formed through a process of the displacement of sand grains by a predominant wind flow, grain size and magnitude of wind all play a role in creating a variety of patterns," said Omid Kamvari, Architect and Project Director of AA Visiting School.As many processors back away from third party merchant account , These designs will be a first step towards a larger project, to build a pavilion in the coming years. In contrast to many other design exercises,Prior to zentai I leaned toward the former, there was no particular problem to be solved. Rather students were encouraged to get inspired by patterns and learn how to translate them into structures. The structures produced show a great freedom in thinking, however they are all build from very limited materials, such as paper cups, kebab skewers,The application can provide landscape oil paintings to visitors, elastic bands and cable ties.
Fauz Al Busaidi, 3rd year student in Urban Planning and Architectural Design, created a spiral pattern with paper cups and cable ties. "After researching and understanding the logic behind a cauliflower, I was amazed at how a simple vegetable naturally grown could have so much geometry," said Fauz.Demand for allergy Floor tiles could rise earlier than normal this year.
These designs will be a first step towards a larger project, to build a pavilion on the new GUtech campus in Halban in the coming years. "We are planning to have further AA Visiting Schools in Muscat and at GUtech in the next three years," said Omid Kamvari. Interested professionals and students in the field of architecture and design are invited to apply and join in next time.
"The workshop was amazing. We experienced a completely new type of work and had a lot of freedom to create our patterns," said Nawras Al Mullahi, 2nd year student in Urban Planning and Architectural Design.
